55Great space to take your big and lil dogs, fully enclosed. It was fully snow covered and clean only one missed poop from a past guest i suspect but no big deal!
We will be back!

55This location was really pretty and my daughter may have enjoyed the agility items as much as the dog. My dog is an escape artist-he managed to get into a chicken coop previously and we are still working on his recall so I was vigilant with this type of fencing. To be fair, the host is clear on the type of fencing she had and all other reviews felt the fencing was adequate. Just an FYI. Sara K.

55Such a fun experience, and a nice retreat away from the city, watching the Lamas, sheep, and roosters, it was a good opportunity to introduce the dogs to farm animals for the first time!
The refreshing beverages for the pup parents were a pleasant surprise!
Can't wait to come back!

55Awesome spot to let your dog be a dog! My pup Archie had a smile on his face from the moment he entered. Lots of room to explore, play fetch, work on recall, and our favourite work on the agility equipment provided. We will be back for sure! Megan D.

55Great place to give your dog some safe off leash time! Our dog Jack is nervous around other dogs so dog parks aren't really an option to let him run. We will definitely be back! Ashley T.

55My two pups and I had a great time! The fall photo shoot set up was adorable. There was lots of places to sniff, and lots of room to run. The agility equipment was a great bonus. The fence was secure. Nearby chickens were of brief interest to my high prey drive GSD and GSD/husky, but they were far enough away that we could easily disengage. The neighbour’s LGD came by, but we’re far enough away that my frustrated greeter barked briefly and was easily able to disengage and not get far above threshold.Samantha R.

55Fully fenced, stocked with toys and agility structures. Even has a cute place to take a picture. There are farm animals around, but they are far enough away that they don't bother your pup.Samantha L.

55Friendly host met me outside because there was no signage for parking etc. yet and I'd never been. Nice spot. There are other farm animals around, which wasn't an issue for my guy. I think most of them are out of sight once in the actual yard, except for a sheep pasture a couple pens over. No holes in the fence. Equipment for you and your pup to play around on, or you can just sit and let them run around :)Trish M.

55This sniffspot is fantastic! The space is easily accessible and is exactly as described.
Our pup dot injured her paw the night before our visit so she wasn’t able to run as much as she’d like but she got to sniff all around the space which is her favourite activity! Dottie is reactive with dogs and we have a small backyard so being able to be in a large space filled with puppy smells was very enriching for her. We will definitely be back!

FAQ about our St. Jacobs dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
